On the Mend

I've been home for the last couple of days, trying to let this cold of mine make it's way through my system. I'm feeling better this evening, despite a lingering headache from all the coughing I've been doing! Hopefully I'll be ready to go back to work by morning. I miss not being at school.

One thing I am excited about is that I managed to purchase tickets for a concert that my girls are going to just flip out over. If you have very young children, you've probably heard of The Cheetah Girls ~ a teen pop sensation that is also a popular movie on the Disney Channel. I've been trying for weeks to get tickets without any such luck until today. I finally got through and managed to snag 3 seats in the highest section of the Verizon Wireless Arena. I plan to tell them as soon as they get home from basketball practice. They will both be elated... I can't even tell you how much they both love this music group, and this will be their first concert experience. I actually like a few of their songs myself, and I am looking forward to going.

Snow is (hopefully) on it's way.. Maybe even by tomorrow. Today was very warm and sunny ~ and that was nice too, but now I'm more than ready. I hope we get a foot. I do love snow. I love the way it smells. It's so beautiful. I need snow to really feel the Christmas spirit the way I like to feel it. I hope to take the girls to La Salette this weekend to see the lights. The true full effect isn't felt (at least for me) until there's a substantial amount of snow on the ground. The lights are simply breathtaking ~ people travel from all over to come see the display which takes up a whole hillside. Santa is there and tells the story of Christ's birth, choosing children to play different parts. My girls have somewhat outgrown this part ~ it's mostly for ME! I will hopefully get some nice photos as well. Here is a website that shows photos of the Festival of Lights: (sorry, I still haven't mastered the fast linking yet ~ hopefully this works)
